Putting the brakes on climate change
Green demands at a glance:
An effective CO2 reduction strategy must pursue the following objectives:
- An average CO2 emissions limit value for passenger cars of 120 g/km by 2012 must be set, to be achieved solely by technical improvements to vehicles

- The parameters for determining the limit values for the various vehicle types must provide an incentive to cut down on weight
- Financial penalties, for exceeding limit values, must be considerably higher than the cost of CO2 reduction measures
